Operating Instructions
Your VidaXL Wood Sideboard is designed for storing various household items. Utilize the shelves to organize books, dishes, decorative items, or other personal belongings. The doors provide easy access to the contents while keeping them neatly concealed.
- Loading: Distribute weight evenly across shelves. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on a single shelf or concentrating weight on one side of the unit.
- Door Operation: Use the provided handles to gently open and close the doors. Avoid slamming the doors to prevent damage to hinges and the cabinet structure.
- Placement: Position the sideboard in a suitable location, away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to preserve the engineered wood.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your sideboard.
- Cleaning: The sideboard is easy to clean. Simply wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the engineered wood finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
- Spills: Wipe up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all assembly hardware (screws, bolts) to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Wall Fixing Device: Ensure the wall fixing device remains securely attached to both the sideboard and the wall.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not align properly | Hinges are not adjusted correctly or are loose. | Adjust the screws on the hinges to align the doors. Refer to the hinge adjustment section in your assembly manual. Tighten all hinge screws. |
| Sideboard feels wobbly | Assembly hardware is loose or the unit is not on a level surface. | Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened. Check if the floor is level; use furniture glides or shims if necessary. Verify the wall fixing device is securely installed. |
| Missing parts during assembly | Parts may have been overlooked during unpacking or were not included in the package. | Double-check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support with your product model and a list of missing components. |
